Abstract
An algorithm that determines the external EF coils required to produce equilibria calculated by high-resolution, fixed-boundary codes is described. The algorithm permits the specification of the poloidal-field-null location. The EF-coil positions on a specified poloidal surface located just outside the TF coils are optimized to minimize the stored magnetic energy. Results of the application of this algorithm to ARIES-III are also presented
